PicoBrew Pico

Josh Valcarcel/WIRED

Think of PicoBrew like the Keurig of homebrewing: Yes, a lot of purists are mad about it, and yes, it takes the drudgery out of making your own beer at home. The company has been working on smarter machines that let you create more exact batches (without constantly overheating or otherwise ruining them) for a bit now, and it's brought its latest product, the Pico, to CES. So if the Zymatic, PicoBrew's original product, was a Keurig, the new Pico is the ultra-Pico. It's half the size, a little easier to use, and...available for preorder on Kickstarter for $599 right now. Don't let that dissuade you too much; the original PicoBrew Zymatic easily made its Kickstarter goal and the Pico already has over $1.4 million. Also, I've tried PicoBrew-made beer and it is delicious.
